Springer forks with v-brake mounts

Anyone have a source for this type of springer? I found it here:

Are you looking for a 1" threaded or nonthreaded steering tube or 1 1/8" Lots of 1 1/8 on ebay.If you want a 1 inch threaded get a 1" threadless and switch out the steering tube to a threaded.

Choppers Us has one very similar to that one, with brake bosses.

I welded on the tabs for V brakes on my springer. No pics right now but I could take some if anyone is interested.

I still like the one in the photo the best, it has a slight bend to it and has the bent trusses. The v-brake mounts are a plus as well. If it's built in Germany, where the seller is located, then the quality is probably better than the China/Taiwan ones. I can order it direct but the pricing is in Euros which makes the items more expensive by about 35% at the current exchange rate.

I'll get a pic and post it tomorrow.

Hey Fulltimer. Is that a cup holder molded into the right side of your tank?

Yea the pricing was a bit of an issue so I went with a springer from Justin over at PirateCycles, it works great and was not expensive at all. Instead of the v-brake setup i'll be going with a set of worksman wheels with the drum brake most likely.
